In order to support the 500 Gw renewable energy (RE) capacity by the end of this decade, the Union ministry of power launched a plan “Transmission System for Integration of over 500 Gw RE Capacity by 2030.”
The plan — which entails connecting mega solar parks and wind power zones with the national grid — will see an investment of Rs 2.44 trillion in transmission projects.
The mega plan includes construction of 8,120 circuit km (ckm) of high voltage direct current transmission corridors (+800 kV and +350 kV), 25,960 ckm of 765 kV ac lines, 15,758 ckm of 400 kV lines and 1,052 ckm of 220 kV cable.
